Sorry to say that for those that are getting Leid-- I couldnt resist-- went out to dinner tonight and something on the bar menu caught my eye--- Mai Tai----
I had to have one-- before all of you got to Hawaii and had one to toast to those of us back here. I toasted to those that are going--- and the great ones that are being left behind----
I will have to admit-- they do taste different in Hawaii--
Cheer to all of us--
may our crusie memories and friends bring us together to crusie again once more.
Aloha April--
I'll be there with you in spirit----
Alaska- 2002-- with Theresa , Bunny and Erin-- aka Island Dog

April,
I know that those of us who are going to Hawaii are going to have the time of our lives on the Summit, and we've all kidded and joked about those being left behind. But all kidding aside, we have such a great group here at CruiseMates that it is really a pity that we can't ALL cruise together. I truly will miss those of you who won't be there with us, and I'll be at the front of the crowd wishing you all a Bon Voyage as you leave on your next cruises without the rest of us. Please join us vicariously via the web and enjoy our Lei'd cruise with us.

Great thoughts and that would be a whale of a cruise, if we could all get together! Nice that you are going on the Alaska cruise that will be a fun time, too and I wish I could do that one! I've been but Alaska you could do again and again and still see different things! Alaska and Hawaii in one year is a little out of my budget!!!

Of course, we have to keep the board going so best to have some left behind, I suppose, but fun to dream about all the possibilities and toast to them, too! Sue

I'm with you Mgram. I woke up in a lovely mood, great day, Tom's beautiful photo... and then this. Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't they just leave already and give us control of the boards. Blab, Blab, Blab, that's all they do!

I too wish everyone could join us!! I am happy to be able to go but am sadden for those left behind. This will be our first group cruise, sure hope it does not spoil us for future adventures. But if you think my sadness is going to stop me from post my excitement you are quite wrong!! <G>
